The Village of LeRoy will enter into a program
of a user-fee charge for garbage pickup. In order for garbage to be
picked up within the Village, such materials must be placed in garbage
bags not exceeding 33 gallons in size. Village residents shall then
be required to affix to each bag a distinctive adhesive label or tag.
[Amended 10-8-2003 by L.L. No. 6-2003]
The officially designated adhesive label or
tag shall be distributed through local commercial outlets. The program
and distribution shall be coordinated by the Village Clerk's Office.

by resolution of the Village Board of Trustees.
Only garbage is to be placed in the bags. "Garbage"
shall be defined as household waste and shall specifically exclude:
old furniture, white goods, demolition materials and tires. Officially
designated bags which contain old furniture, white goods, demolition
materials and tires will not be picked up.
No officially designated bag shall contain more
than 50 pounds in weight of garbage, and such bags will be rejected
at the curb by the contractor.
Individual pieces of old furniture and white
goods may be placed at the curb for collection on designated days
if they are marked with an officially designated label. Said labels
may be purchased at a cost of $2 each from the Village Clerk's office.
Items to be disposed of shall be placed at the
curb ready for collection by 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled day of collection.
